A Java & Flex & French guy

Flex for Java developers (at the BreizhJUG)

Yesterday I had the chance to present at the BreizhJUG (a Breton Java user group) a session named“Flex for Java Developers”. A crowd of almost 100 happy Java developers and architects was willing to know more about Flex.

I had an an hour and half to cover :

a basic presentation of the flash and AIR platforms,

cool UX flash/flex/AIR demos

the latest great features of flash 10

and flex, and its ecosystem from a Java developer perspective (mvn framework, testing libraries, building and quality tools, blazeds, lcds)

I ended up the session presenting fnamaven archetypes. I prepared some new fna features for this talk. Those features are still under development but are already available in SNAPSHOT releases :
